I don't know when it was made, but I do know that American Foam Latex Corp. made it. The pillow is roughly 10 inches by 22 inches. It seems to be about 2 inches thick, but it was probably thicker than that in the 1980s before time and storage smooshed it. By 1986, my family was shopping at Big Lots once in a while, so the pillow could have come from there.
